[Littlefeets]

I forgot about this thread, I really need to look into answering more of these.

The location isn’t what would be important to her. It would be visiting somewhere with someone she cared about. She could visit anywhere she wanted, but half the fun would be to have a friend by her side.

Like her brother, I presume?

Yes, one of those people would have been her brother. But any of her friends were people she would have enjoyed going anywhere with. And later, most of all her husband and daughter. Going anywhere with them would have made for memories she’d want to hold onto for the rest of her life.

What happened to questions 3-5 and 8-19?

I did not have answers in mind for those at that point…

@Littlefeets

She is an actress and a singer

How’d she get into those professions?

She was always someone with a love of music, trying to play any instrument she could get her hands on even if she didn’t know how to technically play it, but she would post online videos of her music and grew enough in popularity that the right people saw it, which helped her get into the music business, and soon after she moved into the acting field as well.

Carter Watson

Well… this character is practically dead but maybe some questions like these can bring a little bit of new life somehow

@CrazyCaliope

@Littlefeets

but he has worked on his grandparents ranch

What does he think about doing this?

Carter loves being on his grandparents ranch. The hard work doesn’t bother him, and he enjoys being around horses and cattle.

@CrazyCaliope

Does he not want to be one?

Nope. He doesn’t want the spotlight. He’d rather live a bit more simply, but he does still love country music and he’s his sister’s biggest fan.

In a physical fight, Sophie likely wouldn’t defend herself

Is there anyone in her life that would defend her?

Most of her friends would probably defend her, maybe even former friends as well, and her family would definitely do their part to defend her if they were involved with the situation. She’s someone that is hard for people to dislike, and anyone who really knows her wouldn’t want to see someone hurt her.

@CrazyCaliope

What’s his favourite and least favourite nicknames? Who calls him these?

His favorite would be Eddie, as he goes by Eddie instead of his full name. Nearly everyone just calls him that.
Then there’s not really away he necessarily dislikes. Sometimes he’ll have one of his sisters trying to annoy him and using various nicknames for him, but its not necessarily the nickname he has an issue with, more that they’re trying to bother him.

Altair Quinn Castillo

World: modern

Question 1:
That used to be his sister. They were twins and she was the one who could always get him to listen, but right now he doesn’t have anyone that he has that level of closeness with, since his sister died.

Question 3:
Yes, tree nuts. He’s had some negative reactions to nuts before, and normally avoids eating anything containing them.

Question 5:
The most prominent would be the tattoos that he’s gotten, as well as his hair when he decides to dye it.

Question 6:
If anything, his first name is closer to a nickname than anything else. He always goes by his middle name, Quinn, always introducing himself as that instead of Altair, and only family can call him that.

Question 7:
He hasn’t had a job.

Question 8:
Oh boy, well… Quinn is the kind to get into fights fairly often… and he defends himself well. Even if he loses a fight, the other person definitely didn’t come out unscathed either.

Question 10:
Other than the usual things like his phone and wallet, one thing that can be found in his pockets is sour apple flavored candy.

Question 14:
He likes rock best. There’s not necessarily a reason, but he just likes the music, and its not pop which is filled with far too many idealistic love songs.

Question 15:
Probably some form of sour apple candy.

Question 16:
His family is broken, and the only tradition that really stayed was spending his birthday with his twin sister, but even that is gone now.

Question 17:
He is not religious at all. He’d find much of a religious based faith to just be ridiculous.

Question 18:
His full name is Altair Quinn Castillo.
Altair is a name meaning “Falcon” and it’s a name that’s been passed through the family on his father’s side. It’s the name his grandfather has, and his uncle as well. While Quinn was just chosen because it was a different name that his mother liked.

Question 19:
No, he has not been in love or had his heart broken. He’s the one that does the heart breaking.

Question 20:
Probably sight or touch.

Question 24:
He wouldn’t. He’d probably believe that the “Person of his dreams” deserved better than him, and wouldn’t want to see the relationship happen to only fail.
